what will groomsmen and fathers wear if I wear white DJ?

[stanwelks]

I'm thinking of wearing a white dinner jacket for my wedding, and I'm thinking the groomsmen will not. If I do:

1. what would I have my groomsmen wear?

2. what about the father of the bride and my dad? what if they want to wear black tuxes? How woul that look?

Thanks.

Have them match the bridesmaids. Or black.

It would look fine.

I think the contrast of the groom in a white dinner jacket and the other men in the wedding group in black would look fine, as it sets the groom apart, and more center stage. Though my feeling is that a white dinner jacket is generally considered for tropical, cruise, or summer country club setting, if your wedding is to be a daytime, summer event, it would work great. Though check with the bride to be on this, as if she likes it and is happy, the wedding night will be better.

What if I have the groomsmen wear dark suits and I wear the white jacket?

One question first: will all of you sing acapella?

Sadly, I do not get the joke. I'm guessing that you are suggesting that this is a bad idea to have them wear dark suits?

I think it would look strange if you are the only one in the wedding party in a dinner jacket. As for your other question, you being in white and the others being black dinner jackets is fine in my view.
